Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as well as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment whether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

The Faith FV Natural Venus Cutaway Electro stands as the historical benchmark for the brand, meticulously engineered to combine organic acoustic depth with modern stage convenience.

Built entirely from premium all-solid timbers, this highly versatile auditorium model addresses the common player challenge of seeking a responsive live guitar that offers an immersive, room-filling unplugged sound while maintaining a compact, agile footprint on stage.

Solid Engelmann Spruce Top

The primary source of this instrument's focused and direct acoustic voice is its solid premium-grade Engelmann spruce soundboard. Chosen for its natural stiffness and high elasticity, the spruce top vibrates efficiently to ensure sharp articulation and clean note separation. To control excessive resonant overtones and deliver a more direct projection under heavy strumming, the top is finished with a protective gloss lacquer, which helps focus the acoustic signal for a cleaner mix when recording or performing live.

All-Solid Indonesian Mahogany Body

Complementing the clear highs of the spruce soundboard are a solid Indonesian mahogany back and matching solid sides. Mahogany is traditionally favoured for its softer, more mellow structural density, resulting in a warm, vocal mid-range response that blends beautifully during chord accompaniment. The back and sides are treated with a soft satin finish that maximises the natural wood resonance, ensuring the instrument continues to mature tonally and deepen in harmonic character over years of active playing.

Versatile Venus Auditorium Geometry with Cutaway

As the cornerstone design that launched the brand, the Venus body template draws physical inspiration from classic OM and auditorium sizes. It features a 15" lower bout paired with a slightly shallower body depth, minimizing underarm bulk to support relaxed sitting postures and dynamic stage movement.

The integration of a smooth Venetian cutaway guarantees clear, unrestricted access to the high frets, effortlessly accommodating technical fingerstyle lines and upper-register acoustic lead runs.

Patrick James Eggle Architecture and Touchpoints

Directly beneath the lacquered top sits a precise bracing grid designed by master luthier Patrick James Eggle. Utilizing quarter-sawn spruce configured in a hand-scalloped, forward-shifted X pattern, this network reinforces structural integrity while freeing up the soundboard perimeter for maximum air displacement. The boutique appointments are elevated by solid rosewood body bindings, a Macassan figured ebony fingerboard, an ebony bridge with abalone-dotted pins, a 5mm abalone soundhole rosette, and an ebony headstock veneer.

Low-Profile Fishman INK3 Electronics

Live performances are reliably managed by the side-mounted, flush-fitting Fishman INK3 preamp system coupled with an active undersaddle Sonicore piezo pickup element. This highly low-profile electronics solution accurately captures the organic vocal warmth of the solid spruce and mahogany pairing without altering the guitar's acoustic character.

The preamp interface features a responsive chromatic tuner, a master volume control, and a tactile three-band EQ layout that provides immediate tonal shaping directly from the stage side-panel.

Secure Bolt-On Neck and Premium Hardware

The mahogany neck is securely connected to the body using a stable Patrick James Eggle bolt-on neck joint, optimizing vibration transfer and allowing for easier maintenance over time. Covered in a fast satin finish, the neck features a comfortable 43 mm nut width and an expansive 16" fingerboard radius, ensuring a comfortable landing for intricate chording or fluid note bending. Pitch integrity is anchored by gold Grover Rotomatic machine heads operating alongside high-grade TUSQ nut and saddle components.
